Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 slices Turkey bacon
- 12 spears Asparagus
- 3 small Carrots
- 1 medium Zucchini
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon Fresh thyme
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Wash and trim the asparagus spears, ensuring they are roughly the same length.
Peel the carrots and cut them into sticks about the same length and thickness as the asparagus.
Cut the zucchini in half lengthwise, then crosswise, and slice into sticks similar to the other vegetables.
In a large bowl, mix the olive oil, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
Add the prepared vegetables to the bowl and toss them in the seasoned olive oil until well coated.
Take one slice of turkey bacon and wrap it around each vegetable stick or bundle (you can mix different vegetables in one wrap), securing with a toothpick if necessary.
Place the bacon-wrapped vegetables on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are spaced evenly apart.
Sprinkle fresh thyme over the wrapped vegetables.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the turkey bacon is crispy and the vegetables are tender.
Remove from the oven, let them cool slightly, and serve warm as an appetizer or side dish.
